LastEnd RPG Maker (Alpha)

[lastend]

LastEnd RPG Maker gives you the power to create your own original role-playing games without any special knowledge or training. All you need is a computer an a imagination, and your on the way to making your own game. LastEnd RPG Maker allow for almost endless maps that can contain up to 4,000,000 tiles. Let's take a look at some more of its features.

You might think it's hard to make a game, but it's a breeze to find your way around LastEnd RPG Maker. First, make a map that'll serve as the stage for your adventure, then set up your Player, NPC (enemy monsters), items, magic-everything you need for a good RPG. Finally, create some events and place them around the map. Once complete all you have to do is hit the build game option and your very own original RPG is complete. Mapmaking is as simple as a jigsaw puzzle when you have tiles to work with, and with 4 layers you can make it look and feel the way you want it. You can even use ready-made graphics for the player and monsters, so all you have to do is give them some stats and a name.

the screenshots on your site are really small.  I can't even click them to enlarge.  I'd really like a better look at them.

[lastend]

Yea sorry the site is way behind the project. I have one other HD picture i'll post bellow.


[spoiler][/spoiler]

Also the site does have a video posted on the download page; however it is way out dated. It's showing the old interface.

[shaz]

post back again when your site is more up to date.  I'd like to check it out then (no time to download and experiment now, & I'd rather see the pictures first)

[lastend]

I gave the site a small make over. I added a little css style sheet to control some of the font, a FAQ page, and a picture veiwer for the screenshot page.

this might sound random. But I would like to help out with your SITE, if you would like. I know a decent amount of HTML and CSS, and will be getting into Javascript and PHP next semester at college.

[Ofdensen]

I also have a prototype banner for you. Tell me if you like it!

[lastend]

You can submit any work by using the help wanted link at the bottom of the site. The new address is http://lastend.com .

Im just looking for something different to do. Take it or leave it lol.

Dude ive been watching this thread,gotta say im a little impressed,
I like the fact thats its been made and C# as well.Tell me is the Custom Scripting Also in C#?

[lastend]

The scripting is in Lua. Lua is much like c#. Lua can do just about anything that c# but via script. You can find out more about the scripting in the engine at http://lastend.com/Scripting.aspx . If you want to see the base script it at http://Lua.org .

[umbrageous]

Ah Yes, just as good! Release it soon please!
I've done a little work with Lua before as well, so hurry!!!

[lastend]

It will be out sometime in 2010. Keep checking the website because once beta hits there we be a limmit amount of beta testers accepted.

P.S. The link for beta signup will show up on the Support / FAQ page.

I didn't like how the UI scripting was looking. So I put the UI objects in sub classes of the UI class. At any rate it looks better and is easier to remember syntaxs.

Code Select Expand

dofile("Scripting\\Base\\Keys.lua")
Scripting_RegisterClass("ui")
Scripting_RegisterClass("engine")

dialogID = nil

function loadUI()
  local _width = Engine.GetWindowWidth()
  local _height = Engine.GetWindowHeight()
  local _offsetX = _width - 160

  dialogID = UI.Dialog.Add(0, 0, _width, _height)
  UI.Dialog.SetColors(dialogID, 0, 0, 0, UI.ARGB("Blue"))
  UI.Dialog.SetCaption(dialogID, "Main Menu", UI.ARGB("White"), 30)
  UI.Button.Add(dialogID, 12, "UI Test", _offsetX, _height - 136, 150, 20, "UI.Load('UI Test.lua', true)", -1)
  UI.Button.Add(dialogID, 13, "Play", _offsetX, _height - 112, 150, 20, "UI.Load('PlayMenu.lua', true)", Keys.Enter)
  UI.Button.Add(dialogID, 14, "Settings", _offsetX, _height - 88, 150, 20, "Engine.ShowVideoSettings()", -1)
  UI.Button.Add(dialogID, 15, "Exit", _offsetX, _height - 64, 150, 20, "Engine.CloseWindow()", Keys.Escape)
end

loadUI() -- Is in a function so its attributes drop out of memory once out of scope.

function resize()
  local _width = Engine.GetWindowWidth()
  local _height = Engine.GetWindowHeight()
  local _offsetX = _width - 160

  UI.Dialog.SetSize(dialogID, _width, _height)
  UI.Button.SetLocation(dialogID, 12, _offsetX, _height - 136)
  UI.Button.SetLocation(dialogID, 13, _offsetX, _height - 112)
  UI.Button.SetLocation(dialogID, 14, _offsetX, _height - 88)
  UI.Button.SetLocation(dialogID, 15, _offsetX, _height - 64)
end

[lastend]

Here a list of all the dialog commands. Let me know if you want anymore added.

Information
The UI Dialog class allows you control over dialogs. All of the following commands can be accessed by using [ UI.Dialog. ] You will have to register the UI class. 


Functions

int Add(int x, int y, int width, int height )
Add a dialog. Returns the id of the created dialog.

SetCaption(int dialogID, string text, int fontColor, int height)
Creates and enables the caption.

SetColor(int dialogID, int color)
Set the background color of the dialog.

SetColors(int dialogID, int topLeft, int topRight, int bottomLeft, int bottomRight)
Set the background blended colors of the dialog.

SetLocation(int dialogID, int x, int y)
Set the dialog location.

SetSize(int dialogID, int width, int height)
Set the dialog size.

SetFont(int dialogID, string faceName, uint size)
Set the dialog font.

SetFontColor(int dialogID, int fontColor)
Set the dialog font color.

...The site will be updated once we get a few more of the scripted objects documented...

Creating an engine is no simple task, much less do any of them usually make it as far as yours has. 

Good luck.

That script editor is very, very similar to the one used in Game Maker. I kinda like that.

[lastend]

Here a other screenshot of the script editor.

Texture Area Editor: Allow you to select part of a texture for the object graphic. By filping the selection box you can flip or mirror objects with a simple click an drag of the mouse.



The texture shown is for the gui objects. The texture it self is still a work in progress.
